Mr.. Editor,

AS I have had the good fortune to hear
Mr.. Prudential play, you will not consider
it presumptuous in me to say, that for
more than 16 years I have lived here, this
will be the first time, that this island will
have an opportunity of hearing a first class
musicianl
It is not alone the perfect technique and
unsurpassed execution, but far beyond this
it is the very soul and spirit Of music, that is
evoked by him.
Persons who think themselves not musical,
generally believe they cannot understand
music
Well, Mr.. Prudential will make them
understand it, for he must in truth be deaf,
who annot understand his rendering Of
music-his Interpretation Of it.
I would earnestly advise everybody that
can do so, to avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity, were it only to learn, once in their
life, what music me ans.

A RUN ACROSS SANTA ORUZ.

Nothing could be lovlier to sea-wearied
eyes than the green outlines of Santa Cruz as
we reached it at Frederickstadt. Across the
Island is Christianstadt, and thither through
long avenues of palms the road winds by old
plantations and 'mong objects of interest-up
to a delicious dinner-which thing no good
christian can withstand. So after lounging
at the dusty little market, and visiting briefly
the R. @. we took our carriage and started
across the country drawn by two ponies
which would have been large for flies but
were very small for horses, and were evident
ly the pride of the stately nobemsn of color
who did us the honor Of driving US.
The country looked strangely familiar the
hills were covered with patches Of brown and
olive and all imaginable shades Of green the
cane in all stages of growth cocoas and thorn
palms lined the road-of course we should
not dare to say they were not beautiful and
30 they are-but after all, if one might criti-
else anything so stately, they seem rather sad
and depressing, like some old peer, one fan
cies them rather lonely in their high estate.
All along the road we met gay natives going
to market, some in rags and some in tags,
and some in little more than bandanas.
Some on foot, and some in little donkey carts,
and all with an air Of easy Indifference to
sun or shade, to time or to comfort. Gay
bellies all smiles and teeth, in the brightest
c%olors, with loops Of shining hair on their
heads, and shining gold in their ears, nodded
and smiled or US, and babe US good morning,
and poor old women of certainly ten thou
and years plodded along on the other side
and seemed to see nothing but the road in
front of them all bore heavy burdens and
seemed never to care whether they ever got
any where with them or not.
The telegraph wires seemed rather out of
place leaning against the slow paced palms,
but the birds chung to them just as Familiarity
as in the land of wires. Logger-headed
shrikes, "black-witchesT, birds as large as
magpies, with fan-like tails, and one queer
large bird that seemed to fly backwards and
had no name attached to it. We went by
many plantations, but there didn'tseem much
life about them, evidently their glory had
passed away
Meanwhile our little fly ponies were bring
ing US quite near to Christisnstadt. We
begin to have glimpses of the sea again, and
far out we could see the long line Of foam
which marks the bar at the harbour. Inside
of this the water was of hues and shades, but
outside was the ever coating blue Of the
ocean. We began to find superb tsrnarind
trees many varieties OF manages, the tall
yellow lowered caritas and almond trees
with lovely red leaves and pink blossoms:
We passed many old forts. all dismsntled
however.
Christianstadt is not so different from
"West End" where we landed, the same mar
row white streets with pretty low arches.
1t seemed like going through the Spring
Exhibition at the Academy in 9 carriage,
with lows of Colmon's Eastern pictures all
about US.
We reached Mrs. Pentheny's ut about half

On the merits of Mr.. F~riedenthal, as an &C.
eomplished Pianist we need not dwell at any
length, he having received the best ~enconiums
from this public when here two years ago;
and we but do him justice in stating that the
Pianist[ho can truly interpret, as he does,
compositions OF such varied styles, must be
possessed of accomplishments Of the highest
order. In fine, Mr.. Friedenthal rendered his

Permit me to address through your valua-

pendent Equity, whose article appeared in
your Saturday number.
Dear Equity!
l read with some amusement your lengthy
effusion in the "Avis" of Saturday 26th instant,
concerning the necessity of extending Bum
Licenses in this island, as we'll as that of
%electing men of our own class to represent us
in the Colonial Council, both of which sub
jects you state have been welded to your
mental organs for a very long time. Well,
my good friend,-if you will permit my ad-
dressing you as familiarly-take the advice of
one who has had some experience in both
subjects, the quicker you get such hallucina-
tons divorced from your mental organs the
better for you,
I have for my part, land many others

Gnalyze, all that is contained in your very
Opaque article, but, we have all failed most
signally. So, should it please you to honour
US with another e%fusion, endeavour to make
it as lucid as possible-the better that we
may be able to understand you. Until l hear
from you, believe me

kindly sent us a copy Of an amusing little
sheet published by the Barracuda tourists Of

that the party included several literary men,
and the sheet, styled 1.-THE occasional Barra,
coutean" and published Daily on Monday,
14th March 1887" betrays the fact. AS it is
well sometimes "to see ourselves as others
see u.s." we reprint "a Run across Santa
Cruz. The writer is evidently not unfriend-
ly, although he does make fun Of our small
ponies and one or two other matters. It is
to be hoped that we can take a joke. In any
case it matters little to American tourists
what we think of their opinions, but it mat
tiers q good deal to US what they think Of st.
Croixj and the BUrracOuta's trips will do
more to advertise our island as a pleasant
resort than any means we could adopt our
selves. We heartily join in our correspon-
dents wish that the visits of the ship "may
never bediscontinued".

j. B. Williamson, who is on q visit Il

some years past. The Exchequer mine
that was q heavy bullion producer come
years ago, but through q general depres.
sion that occurred and other causes, WAS
practically abandoned, is now coming out
again, and will contribute it's share OF
wealth to Nevada's rapidly increasing
product. Some time ago Mr.. Williamson
sold the property to q firm who resold it
to the parties now operating il for a nomi-
nal sum, mt who at once commenced
work upon ii. They were not long in es.
tablishing the fact that it was valuable
property. and by energy and good man.

it now promises to be a heavy ore pro.

THE MINI

the mountain and also through the me-
dunn OF q shaft. There lie considerable
water to contend with on the lower levels,
but the pumping machinery handles it
without any trouble. The water was only
recently pumped out and they are now
making preparations to resume work be-
low the water level, where ore is known to
exist. All the ore that has been extracted
lately has been taken from the tunnel.
The ore is being worked by a wet crush.

Lewis Martin and f. M. Franks. of Cherry

thirty men and are working the mine for
what IL 10 worth and solely upon merit.
THE OLD STAR MINE
that figured so prominently In mining cir
cles in days gone by, which also laid idle
for several years Is being worked again.
At one time In its history this property
gave employment to over 200 men, and
produced nearly two millions OF dollars. !
II was affected in the same manner and at
the same time as the Exchequer and was
also closed down. Recently a combination
of capitalists took the property in hand, and

vision of O.. W. Kenny. who was one of the
istration. They have just commenced OPP

soon to extract large quantities of high

with the underground workings of this
